2.2 Unpacking and Inspecting the Adept Equipment
Before Unpacking
Carefully inspect all shipping crates for evidence of damage during transit. Pay special
attention to any tilt and shock indication labels on the exteriors of the containers. If any
damage is indicated, request that the carrier’s agent be present at the time the container is
unpacked.
Upon Unpacking
Before signing the carrier’s delivery sheet, please compare the actual items received (not just
the packing slip) with your equipment purchase order and verify that all items are present and
that the shipment is correct and free of visible damage.
l
If the items received do not match the packing slip, or are damaged, do not sign the
receipt. Contact Adept as soon as possible.
l
If the items received do not match your order, please contact Adept immediately.
Inspect each item for external damage as it is removed from its container. If any damage is
evident, contact Adept. See How Can I Get Help? on page 15.
Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be necessary to settle claims
or, at a later date, to relocate equipment.
2.3 Repacking for Relocation
If the robot or other equipment needs to be relocated, reverse the steps in the installation
procedures that follow this chapter. Reuse all original packing containers and materials and
follow all safety notes used for installation. Improper packaging for shipment will void your
warranty. Specify this to the carrier if the robot is to be shipped.
CAUTION:Before unbolting the robot from the mounting
surface, fold the outer arm against the Joint 2 hardstops
to help centralize the center of gravity. The robot must
always be shipped in an upright orientation.
2.4 Environmental and Facility Requirements
The Adept robot system installation must meet the operating environment requirements
shown in the following table.
Table 2-1. Robot System Operating Environment Requirements

NOTE: For robot dimensions, see Dimension Drawings on page 101.
2.5 Mounting the Robot
Mounting Surface
The Adept Cobra s600 and s800 robots are designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat, level
tabletop. The mounting structure must be rigid enough to prevent vibration and flexing during
robot operation. Adept recommends a 25 mm (1 in.) thick steel plate mounted to a rigid tube
frame. Excessive vibration or mounting flexure will degrade robot performance. The following
figure shows the mounting hole pattern for the Adept Cobra s600 and s800 robots.
Chapter 2: Robot Installation
WARNING: Only qualified service personnel may install
or service the robot system.
NOTE:On the under side of the base there is a hole and a slot that can be used as
locating points for user-installed dowel pins in the mounting surface; see the
following figure. Using locating pins could improve the ability to remove and
reinstall the robot in the same position.

For a field upgrade from an old AIB, if you already have the old XSYS(DB9-DB9) cable
routed and all you want to do is adapt your new eAIB to plug into the old cable, use the
eAIB XSLV Adapter cable. This is a 1 ft (250 mm) long adapter that essentially turns the
XSYSTEM into the old XSLV connector. Connect the XSYSTEM end to the eAIB, and the
XSLV end to the old XSYS cable.

User-supplied 24 V power supply must incorporate overload protection to limit peak
power to less than 300 W, or 8 A in-line fuse protection must be added to the 24 V
power source. (In case of multiple robots on a common 24 V supply, each robot must
be fused individually.)
NOTE:Fuse information is located on the AIB/eAIB electronics.

The power requirements for the user-supplied power supply will vary depending on the
configuration of the robot and connected devices. Adept recommends a 24 V, 6 A power
supply to allow for startup current draw and load from connected user devices, such as

solenoids and digital I/O loads. If multiple robots are sharing a 24 V power supply, increase
the supply capacity by 3 A for each additional robot.
CAUTION:Make sure you select a 24 VDC power
supply that meets the specifications in the previous table.
Using an under-rated supply can cause system problems
and prevent your equipment from operating correctly. See
the following table for recommended power supplies.

Details for 24 VDC Mating Connector
The 24 VDC mating connector and two pins are supplied with each system. They are shipped
in the cable/accessories box.
NOTE:The 24 VDC cable is not supplied with the system, but is available in the
optional Power Cable kit. See Table 3-1.
Procedure for Creating 24 VDC Cable
1.
Locate the connector and pins shown in Table 3-4.
2.
Use 14-16 AWG wire to create the 24 VDC cable. Select the wire length to safely reach
from the user-supplied 24 VDC power supply to the robot base.
NOTE:You also must create a separate 24 VDC cable for the SmartController. That
cable uses a different style of connector. See the Adept SmartController User's Guide.
3.
Crimp the pins onto the wires using the crimping tool.
4.
Insert the pins into the connector. Confirm that the 24 V and 24 V return wires are in
the correct terminals in the plug.
5.
Prepare the opposite end of the cable for connection to the user-supplied 24 VDC power
supply.
Installing 24 VDC Robot Cable
1.
Connect one end of the shielded 24 VDC cable to your user-supplied 24 VDC power
supply. The cable shield should be connected to frame ground on the power supply. Do
not turn on the 24 VDC power until instructed to do so in Turning on Power on page
51. See the following figure.
2.
Plug the mating connector end of the 24 VDC cable into the 24 VDC connector on the
interface panel on the back of the robot. The cable shield should be connected to the
ground point on the interface panel.
